Thanks for the clarification. And my $0.02 that it should be focused more towards the features and functionality and how it takes android over and above what it can normally do rather than how it fares in the marketplace. cheers, Sachin On Mar 19, 5:39 pm, Dan Morrill morri...@google.com

Dan, Thanks for the clarification. How about making the ADC II a set of awards which are given to the best selling apps in each category each month for the next couple of years. This would allow the Android user community to vote on what is good for them, give developers a reason to push
